Nail Care: p2 Nail Care Oil Review

I take nail polish reviews seriously. Normally, I always wear a base coat underneath my nail polish to protect my natural nails. To review a nail polish, I usually wear it till it chips and I wear it with no base coat or top coat (unless it is a very cheap brand). So, when I ultimately remove the polish, often times, my nails feel dry and need of some TLC. I was on the lookout for a reasonably good nail care oil and during my last trip to Germany, I picked up the Nail Care Oil from p2.

My take on the product: The nail oil comes in a small bottle that looks just like a nail polish bottle. The flat applicator brush is soft and picks up enough product at one go for all five fingers.

The oil contains nourishing almond oil enriched with vitamin E and F. There is a distinct lemon scent which I find refreshing but the smell does not last long.

I apply the nail care oil and massage it into the cuticles and on the nails. Immediately post application, my nails feel better and more hydrated. I apply it each time I take off my manicure and in case I am not wearing nail paints for a few consequent days, I apply it everyday before going to bed. My nails definitely look healthy and are less brittle.

I would have repurchased this, had it been available in India, purely for its smell. However, once it is over, I plan to make my own blend of nail care oil and store it in this bottle. For now, the bottle still has quite a bit of product in it. A little goes a long way and I have a good amount of time before I need to create my own blend of oil.
